2021 Datathon Kickoff: Exploring Judicial Patterns

This year Datathon, we have partnered with the Judge Accountability Table (JAT; https://judgeaccountabilitytable.org/about/) to help them explore, stratify, and visualize a complex dataset related to public court dockets for defendants in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. We will be working on a deidentified subset of these data in order to: - better understand the judicial system through data - hone our data science and R skills (there will be ways to contribute for people of all levels of experience with R) - get our hands dirty and our heads spinning with rich and messy real-world data (spoiler alert: we will not be analyzing sepal.length and petal.width) - work together, network, and make (new) friends in the data world! - have fun nerding out together over data :) The repository for the datathon can be found here: https://github.com/rladiesPHL/2021_datathon Q&A doc: https://bit.ly/38QuheZ ; Teams doc: https://bit.ly/3eRdqN2 0:00:02 - Introduction to R-Ladies Philly and our datathons; 0:06:43 - JAT presentation to contextualize the problem and the research needs; 0:35:14 - Q&A with JAT 0:45:18 - Logistics & Data Overview
